Looking To Kick Start Things In 2011!!!

[Adrian Williams]

Hello Biggerpockets my name is Adrian Williams and I'm looking to kick my real estate investing biz into high gear for 2011 , 2010 has been a great year and I have learned alot about real estate and life in general, A little about me I live in Kansas City MO, I got my real estate license in May of 2010, since then I have learned quite a bit about contracts, marketing , cold call techniques, and other techniques on the sales end of the real estate biz . I did go to technical college for Heating & Cooling and I'm currently working fulltime for a pretty good company here in KC. I have always been interested in investing ( stocks, 401k, real estate) , I created an online brokerage account in which I buy into a couple companies every week, and try and maximize my 401k each month , But I haven't found the best way to get started with my real estate investing career , I guess because there are so many avenues you can go into I never really settled on one, I have evaluated a couple owner finance deals, I almost bought into but the numbers just don't make since. I have attended a few guru seminars (Dean Grazeeono and some other guy) also. I think my primary goal is to hold real estate for the long run and take advantage of cash flow/tax benefits, I have looked into tax liens also and have heard that Missouri is a great place to get started with tax lien investing, also Kansas City is really close to Kansas so I potentially have two states close I could do biz in. I guess my primary question is does anyone have any suggestions on how to get started. I have been saving money and investing into a online high yield savings account and buying into stocks that are pretty solid and pay dividends even though most dividends are modest at most. Any suggestion on how much I need to save to start investing in tax liens? Any input or comments would be very appreciated!!! Well Chiefs game comes on in a bit & Raiders are losing :)) !!

Thanks Everyone !
